How to confront anti-Catholicism


www.catholic.com Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples answers a caller who asks what we can do to counter attacks on the Catholic Church. Tim Staples is Director of Apologetics and Evangelization here at Catholic Answers, but he was not always Catholic. Tim was raised a Southern Baptist. Although he fell away from the faith of his childhood, Tim came back to faith in Christ during his late teen years through the witness of Christian televangelists. Soon after, Tim joined the Marine Corps. During his four-year tour, he became involved in ministry with various Assemblies of God communities. Immediately after his tour of duty, Tim enrolled in Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and became a youth minister in an Assembly of God community. During his final year in the Marines, however, Tim met a Marine who really knew his faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from Catholic and historical sources. That encounter sparked a two-year search for the truth. Tim was determined to prove Catholicism wrong, but he ended up studying his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up the Catholic Church!

Lift the City - a Catholic Eucharistic flash mob


A Eucharistic flash mob in the centre of Preston, organised by the Capuchin Franciscans on Ascension Thursday 2011. A small team of Catholic evangelists mingled with the crowd to hand out cards and explain what was going on. Here are some of the reactions.... "What is this about? What is happening? What is this about?" One young girl said: "I've not seen anything like this since Church." "Are they doing this all day? ... Will they be doing it again? ... Are they doing this any where else?" Two young women asked: "Why does God allow hurt and pain in the world?" They agreed it was not God's fault but ours. Then they asked: "Why doesn't Jesus come again?" We explained that He is here in the form of bread, but would come again and we invited them to think about Him now. "Is it religious? What is inside that thing?" A man said: "What is that guy doing?" An old woman with him replied: "That's Jesus. Show respect." "This is so moving! It is the first time I have seen it done outside. I can't wait to tell my parish priest!"
